Okada Manila is the newest and among the grandest and most exciting gaming and entertainment destinations in Asia. It is nestled on the foreshore of Manila Bay, an ideal location considering the close proximity to neighboring Asian countries all less than 4 hours away by air travel, such as China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Set in a 44-hectare premium property at the heart of Manila’s fast-rising Entertainment City, Okada Manila sets the new gold standard for five-star luxury. It breaks new ground with its many distinct innovations, expertly combining advanced technology, top-class amenities, environment-friendly architectural planning, and world-class entertainment options—topped with the kind of exemplary service that personifies a unique blend of Japanese hospitality and Filipino warmth. It boasts of two iconic Y-shaped towers offering 993 gorgeously furnished suites and villas, an eclectic mix of Michelin-worthy dining options, a one-of-a-kind retail corridor that features 50 prestige brands, and a grand musical fountain that rivals those in Las Vegas and Dubai. It also features the country’s most expansive gaming floor, with up to 500 action-packed table games and 3000 electronic gaming machines. As Entertainment City’s crown jewel, Okada Manila is ideally located to be a few minutes’ drive from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport via a newly built direct link, as well as a few hours’ air travel from neighboring countries, such as China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong.
